The last few days have been hell on earth! B/p B/p B/p B/p B/p. FAIL. No more !!! I have found the thing i've been waiting for. And tomorrow - I will start losing those lbs and by the end of the month i'll be down! you wait and see ^_^
I want to post a couple things i've seen. this first passage is what made me realise how bad i was doing and motivated me to get back on the wagon and shift those unwanted lbs
i do not own and whatnot anything i re-post here, just things i've seen!
Day 1 to 3 of the fast will be the hardest, but the pain will be caused more by gastric irritation and not true hunger. After day 3 of fasting, hunger is reduced or disappears. The earliest benefit of a fast occurs on days 3-5. Days 7-14 will be healing, days 14-21 will be like a euphoric dream and days 21-28 will be a complete regeneration of the body.
Without food, the body will use an alternative energy source such as glycogen or stored fat. Once the glucose is reduced in the body the bodies metabolism changes and starts producing ketone bodies. Once a person eats even a single crumb, the bodies metabolism immediately converts back to how it was before and the hunger levels will rise. After the glucose and the stored fat is used up, usually occurring after 28 days, the body will start burning vital tissue or starving.
If a fast is performed 1 to 3 times annually for 14-28 days, the body will reach a state of health no amount of exercise could ever accomplish. A fast will be a long detoxification that demands mental preparation to carryout, especially if one is going to do a water fast. A juice fast is not as hard as a water fast but the benefits of a water fast is is well worth the pain.

2nd thing;
Just imagine what it would be like.
waking up in the morning, perfectly empty,
resting your hand on your stomach, which is caving in.
Tracing the outline of your hipbones, your ribs, your collarbones.
the soft autumn light shining through the window.
you stand up, and you feel a bit lightheaded - but that’s ok.
you make yourself some fresh coffee, black, no milk, no sugar.
you curl up with the news, a good book, or the laptop, and sip your hot coffee.
slowly waking up. you take a hot shower,
and you are not disgusted by what you see.
you style your hair, moisturize, the whole lot.
put on cute underwear and do your make up.
grab cute, tiny clothing and don’t worry about “looking bad”
because you will look fantastic,
even if you wear a shapeless jumper.
just imagine how fantastic that would be. how liberating.
there is only one thing you need to do: don’t eat that.

And lastly, i'd like to let you all know about this, which you may have already seen
Die hard Ana's already know what this means.. off course! But, maybe some newbies don't, soo.... The bracelet project exists so other pro ed girls can recognize each other. Ana girls are wearing a red beaded bracelet around the left wrist. Mia girls are wearing a blue beaded bracelet around the right wrist. The bracelet has to be beaded, and in the right colour, those are the only things that matter. The size/length/shape of the beads can be all kinds. You can buy the bracelet, or you can make it yourself. A lot of girls are waiting to wear this bracelet until they think they're worth it...Don't do it! It's made to show you're an Ana girl, not to show you're underweight already. If we all wear our bracelets, we can recognize each other, and so we can help each other! So please, don't wait!
<3 i ordered a blue and red one tonight. Only cost £4 off ebay, aslong as the colours are right the size shape and beads don't matter!
I don't have much more to say, appart from BRING IT ON!
I shall lose alot. I shall do it quickly. LETS GOOOOO !!!!

P.s Thank you all for your comments on the Yazoo post - a couple made me laugh, i would mock me too if i saw it. You all made my day a little brighter after that mishap, thank you ^_^
This is my own pictures of myself - my own little thinspo to look back on, and maybe it might help you guys. I went from a fat 14 year old to this. Now being a fat 19 year old i will get back to it.
Please don't take these pictures for other blogs as they are my own- thank you!
that info about fasting is certainly intriguing!! i would love to try a 7-14 day fast but i don't know if i could ever get away with it, since i don't live by myself. hmm definitely something to ponder :)

oooh thanks for sharing that fasting info! i'm planning to do a long one myself when i get some time away from work.
ReplyDeleteand i'm totally keeping an eye out for a red beaded bracelet! i think if i can convince my boyfriend to get it for me, it won't seem strange that i'm suddenly wearing this new bracelet all the time.
xoxo
Firstly, where did you find those posts? Inspirational! Makes me wanna fast right now. And I knew about the bracelets, had a red one for ages but it was flimsy and broke. I personally am not into it in case someone knows and tells... I'm just paranoid I guess. I'm glad you're sound so motivated in this post and you should be! Keep it up hun :) xx
ReplyDeleteive read the fasting one b4 well soemthing like it and its true after day 3 u dont feel hunger ata ll
ReplyDeletethe longest i went was 7 days lost 10 lbs but stupid b stopped drinking as well and app the boy said i looked liek death dont remember much

Thanks for the comment <3 and yes I've decided to make it a 3 day fast.
ReplyDeleteawesome pics, btw. you're skin is such an awesome colour, like a perfect porcelain doll.
i'm getting a red bracelet as a sort of incentive for my first goal weight (which is just 3 lbs away now >.<)otherwise i won't feel like i've earned it.
i take it from the excerpts in your post that you're starting a fast too?
